A SEX worker has told Daily Sun she is tired of selling her body and keeping it a secret from her family.
“I don’t want to live a lie.
“I’m scared all the time that one day my family will judge me for this bad work,” she said.
“I was introduced to sex work by a friend.
“She told me to bath and wear smart clothes and we went to a club.”
She said this was in May after she lost her job at a fast-food outlet.
The woman said on her first gig as umagosha, she was paid R300 for the night.
She said she was operating in the Pretoria CBD and sometimes in Brits.
“At first, I was shy but then I became a professional,” she said.
“I regret becoming umagosha and am tired of having sex with different men every day.”
She said she never did drugs but was always drunk.
She said she told her family she was now working in retail.
“It’s bad out there. Some clients pay R1 000 a night without a condom or R500 per night with a condom,” she said.
“As a magosha, sometimes you get raped by evil men.”
She said she wasn’t ready to live with a man as she’s looking for a job.
Her message to young women is that they must stay away from such a trade because there are consequences.
“The consequences that come with sex work include being raped, undermined by the community and chances of being a victim of human trafficking are high,” she warned.
The sad woman said she needed help to start a new life.
“I’m ready to give my life to Christ,” she said.
